American Newspapers in the Columbia University Libraries


This checklist of U.S. newspapers from 1704 to the present, is arranged by state and city of publication.

It includes currently received paper issues, newspapers in microform, and newspapers available online through our subscriptions to several news databases. This list does not include our underground newspaper collection, which is listed in CLIO.

Unless otherwise noted, all call numbers (F, FA, FN, etc.) refer to the Microform Reading Room, 401 Butler Library.

There are three ways to navigate this list: use the "find in page" (ctrl + f) command to search for an individual newspaper or city, use the following list to jump to a specific state, or scroll through using the cursor or direction keys.
